Local school districts, state budget

While it'll undoubtedly be months before the state budget is settled, local school districts don't seem to be looking forward to Governor Pataki's budget, to be released tomorrow. The Newfield and Groton Superintendents hold out some hope for better education funding in an election year, but Dryden Superintendent Archambault doesn't sound particularly hopeful on that score, and notes that the federal "No Child Left Behind" law will also mandate spending.
